THE MOVIE "Fast and Furious" is really in poor taste. It's going to end up getting a lot of teen-agers killed.

(Editorial ~ 06/29/01)

(Editorial ~ 06/29/01)

(Local News ~ 06/29/01)
BRANSON, Mo. -- They chase chickens, race pigs and ostriches and expect you to eat with your hands at the Dixie Stampede. Those are some of the reasons the Branson attraction sells out most shows during the summer tourist season.
